RATTLE SNAKE

 

So, living a new city with new friends,

Waiting for this to come to an end,

I’m all left alone, just been breathing off your ghost,

No one understands the pain, except you the most.

 

One may ask, what was the worst time?

There are numerous occasions that come to mind,

The scariest was like feeling of chattering fake teeth,

From my heart pounding forever seemed like a week.

 

It was like a rattle snake with a pop up toy top,

Never knowing when it was going to stop,

I indeed had a stroke or a heart attack at my profession,

I just wanted safety and catch them without aggression.

 

The next horrible situation was fearing for your life,

Feeling helpless and being cornered with a million sharp knives,

I recall briefly, how I couldn’t stop walking in circles,

I was on autopilot and I could only stop if there was a miracle.
